The Baltimore Steam Packet Company, nicknamed the Old Bay Line, was an American steamship line from 1840 to 1962 that provided overnight steamboat service on Chesapeake Bay, primarily between Baltimore, Maryland, and Norfolk, Virginia. Called a "packet" for the mail packets carried on government mail contracts, the term in the 19th century came to mean a steamer line operating on a regular, fixed daily schedule between two or more cities. When it closed in 1962 after 122 years of existence, it was the last surviving overnight steamship passenger service in the United States.

  • La Baltimore Steam Packet Company, aussi appelée Old Bay Line, est une compagnie maritime américaine en service de 1840 à 1962, qui fournissait un service de nuit avec des navires à vapeur sur la baie de Chesapeake, notamment entre Baltimore (Maryland), et Norfolk (Virginie). Le terme « packet », qui désignait les navires qui transportaient le courrier en accord avec le gouvernement, prend un sens nouveau au XIXe siècle et désigne une compagnie maritime fournissant un service régulier entre deux villes ou plus. À l'époque où cette compagnie cesse ses opérations en 1962, après 122 ans d'existence, elle est la dernière compagnie maritime fournissant un transport de passagers de nuit aux États-Unis. (fr)
